The eighth floor room of the Chamber of Commerce wa crowded, with a consid erable proportion of women present. Many representatives of farm ioan concerns were seen. The federal land bank law, eaid Myrick, adds, for the benefit of the farmer, accommodation . .i : a . I iu common sense auu uirui. ..-u- .u. ' payable in 33 yeV amounts to $5100. because the federal bU1 was made law"" declared Mr. Myrick. Comparing the two sys- tems Mr. Myrick says that under the Lia plan the costs are $7400 and under the new plan $.'300, the difference be- ing $5100. Myrick is president of the Orange Judd company, publisher of farm peri odicals; he was a leader in the cam paign for national rural credits legis lation. f "By the old method, so long in vogue," said he, "the cost of mort gage money to American farmers, in cluding commissions and renewal charges now averages about 8 V per cent. This means that the average farmer now pays what is equal to $85 yearly for the use of $1000. In 33 years these annual charges of $85 amount to $2805. If the $S5 paid each year earns only . five per cent com pound interest this will aggregate about $3595 for compound Interest alone during the 33 years, which sum ' f , aurins V10 " ! s lt to the borrow er. Xosg Is Claimed. "Add It to the $2805 and we get some $6400 as the total cost and lost to the borrower of $1000 for the 33 years by the old way. "And he still owes the original Iiooo of principal. "By the new method, with interest at five per cent per annum, paid 2' per cent semi-annually and one per cent applied on the principal each six months together with all savings of simple and compound interest, the far mer pays in a total of $70 each year, or $2310 in 33 years, but by the end of that time his debt is paid off in full. ""The new system enables the bor rower to pay his debt almost without feeling it "Total payments yearly almost one fifth less than by the old method, not AUGUSTUS HIGH FARM LOAN ACT IS EXPLAINED BY EXPERT - , A .

" , . ., i "The actual savings by the new over the oh! way is son.o $.:,o,(io on each JluOO borrowcxl for u.J years. The sliorter the loan, the h ss the sav ing, but the sooner the debt is paid. Thereafter, all the interest accrues to the farm owner." Myrick told tho business men at the Charnber of Commerce last night how the new federal land bank law divides the nation into 12 districts each of which will have a federal land bank. Oregon falls into the twelfth district which also Includes Washington, Ida ho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and Cali fornia about one-third of the area of the United States. Each federal land bank must have $7i0.000 paid up cash capital. "The tnew law provides," he ex plained, "that any lu or more farmers who wish to borrow money for a long period of years may form a national farm loan association. Must Take Shares. "Each farmer must pay in $5 for I one of its shares for each $1'0 he i wishes to borrow. The associations in-j of $14,106 from the state accident in vest that money in shares of the fed- ! surance fund if he lives to his ex- eral land bank for its district. "To start it, the government tem- porarily advances so much of the land bank's $700,000 cash capital as is not paid in by associations, i:id. vidua Is, ! corporations or states. Only sliares i owned by member associations, and ' by the government, can vote. I ""Thus no trust or clique can control. b-ut the system must be run for the mutual benefit of borrowers and lend-; ers. No dividends are payable upon i government stock. Borrower to Benefit. "As eventually tlu- banks' shares will be owned mostly by members' as sociations composed solely of borrow ing farmers, the entire net profits tafter defraying expenses of efficient administration) will accrue to borrow ers1 benefit. "The only exception to this will be dividends upon such non-voting shares of the land bank as are held by others than the government and member as sociations." When the debt Is raid In full the amount invested by the borrower is repaid in full. Interest will have been paid on the investment mean while. Myrick continued: "In order to get more money to lend farmers, the federal land bank may sell bonds secured by the far mers' mortgage notes. Each mortgage being steadily reduced tho security back of the bonds steadily increases. "The bank buys in and retires bonds with the installments of principal re ceived from borrowers. This makes the bonds so safe and marketable that they will be choice investment for any sum from $25 up. As the public realizes the attractiveness of these bonds, eventually they may sell on a parity with state or government bonds, "Federal farm loan bonds, also shares in the banks and in the na - tional farm loans associations, are free of all taxes whatsoever, because the land bears the taxes. Interest Charge Fixed. "The federal farm loan act provides that the borrower may be charged for interest not to exceed one per cent more than the bonds yield. If at first the bonds bear five per cent In order to sell at par, the borrower may have to pay six per cent interest. When the bonds go at four per cent, the rate to borrowing farmers can not exceed five per cent. If the In vestor is willing to accept three per cent on his tax free bonds, the far mers whose mortgage notes secure same may be required to pay not over four per cent interest." Mr. Myrick urged that farmers of Oregon take advantage of the provi sions of the federal land bank law and be prompt in organizing borrow ing associations. FARM LOAN BANK COMMITTEE TO MEET TUESDAY AFTERNOON A meeting of the state committee appointed to carry on a campaign for securing the location of the farm loan bank for the Pacific coast district in Portland will be held at 4 o'clock Tues day afternoon ln the green room of the Chamber of Commerce.

'"t lJnated in the marriage of Kngineer Cupper had not received ' any word from State Kngineer Lewis re i ;Vn relative to the apportionment, but he be IK-vis that the matter of connect- ins toads would pronaoiv cover tne ; mutter fully in Oregon. Cupper's idea I is that the federal plan is to get the states to build as many miles or roaa as possible and Oregon probably se- cured the big apportionment of $127,- 000 out of $1,000,000 available for the year on a showing as to the great amount of highway building that has been done of late years, is being done this year and is contemplated. The $1,000,000 appropriation has nothing to do with the $10,000,000 ap propriation which has not yet been apportioned. The $10,000,000 appropri ation will be alloted 6trlctly on con dition that each state shall put up as much money as is alloted by the fed eral government. Pensions Are Granted. Salem, Or., Aug. 19.

A Farmers Make Complaint. Salem, Or., Aug. 19. James David son and Clay Pust, farmers from near Independence, Or., complained to the public service commission today that the Valley & Siletz Railway, which Is building a line from Siletz to Inde pendence, has fences down along nearly the whole line, allowing livestock to roam at will and causing much trouble and damage. They say that unless fences are put up or watchmen sta tioned, as they have frequently re quested, they will be unable to pasture their hogs in the grain fields after threshing is done, causing them con siderable loss. Car Shortage Deplored. Salem, Or.. Aug. 19. That it is do ing only half the business that would bo possible with a plentiful supply of cars available is asserted by the Kla math Falls Manufacturing company in a letter to the state public service commission. ""If it was lust a temporary condi tion, we would not complain." the company writes, "but it was a con tinued condition for years and surely one that should be remedied." The company says It is exasperating to be compelled to turn down orders because of lack of cars and that Southern Pacific officials pas the buck from one to another and do lit tie or nothing to relieve the car shortage situation. The Mohawk Wood Yard, of Eugene, filed a complaint alleging that it was discriminated against ln the distribu tion of cars. Another complaint was entered by the Henry D. Davis Lumber Co., of Portland, wholesalers, who say they had order after order cancelled by buyers because of delay ln shipments. Likes Primary Law. Salem, Or., Aug. 19.

THE NEW WAY TO SPELL ECONOMY- C-H-A-L-M-E-R-S A cheap piece of machinery, like the boy with a little knowledge, is sometimes a danger ous thing. Men are Duying better and better lawn mowers, and reapers, and printing presses, and gasoline engines and pumps. Why ? Because they find it pays. Probably theres no better example of this in the case of automobiles than Chalmers cars. Figures show that over 75 percent of men who have bought Chalmers cars this year previously owned a $500, $600 or $800 car. Nearly every 3400 r. p. m. we have sold this year has been to someone who has driven a lower-priced car. It pays to buy a better car as much as it pays to buy better machinery. But it seems that the great big Jbuy ing public has the same idea, too. I'm particularly strong for the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers because it has tremendous endurance. There are now more than' 1,000, 000 miles of use to the credit of this car. Besides the fac tory writes me that the 3400 r. p. m. motor has a service record of 99.21 percent perfect. If you neyer had a run in the 191 7 Chalmers, let me know. I want you to get this thrill whether you have any idea of buying or not. H. L. KEATS H. L.
